Description
Drone shows are much more than pretty lights in the night sky. Through curated storyboarding and other audiosensory elements, these innovative spectacles can bring communities together by painting a larger story.
After Joy Fulkerson, Director of Leadership and Civic Engagement at East Tennessee State University (ETSU), saw a local theme park show, she knew her school’s community needed that experience. Once she suggested the idea to Leah Adinolfi, the school’s Dean of Student Engagement, they started looking for experts in the field.
That’s where the folks from Pixis Drones come in. Joy and Leah join Pixis’ VP of Operations Martin Codd, Chief of Staff Maria Booker, and Sales Coordinator Ethan Delinski to discuss how drone shows can engage higher ed communities.
Join us as we discuss:
- The emotional benefits of drone shows in brand storytelling (5:06)
- How ETSU and Pixis collaborated on their storyboard and keywords (12:57)
- Incorporating creative elements to conduct a multisensory experience (18:23)
